    My puppy is not food motivated at all. She just likes me throwing a party when she does well.

    She is also so unfocused all the time. Totally seems like she has dog ADHD. I’m working on teaching her “focus” which is a command to stop and look at me with her full attention. I taught my beagle that and it’s great.

    I’m also teaching her “chill out” as a command to calm down while playing too rough. My beagle responds to that as well.

    My puppy is incredibly smart and knows almost all of the commands I use, but she’s at the age where she is like “fuck you, I do what I want”

    She has also been cooped up for a while because of an injury I got and the winter weather. She listens much better when she gets adequate exercise.

    My beagle was much harder to train, so I’m confident my puppy will get everything down. It’ll just take time.
